She'd managed to get Gaila settled into a room of her own and had discussed her arrival with the Captain. Things that needed to be were sorted out, set in a shaky sort of order, but Uhura found herself unable to sleep. She worried that Gaila would wake in the middle of a night in a panic, or worse, that she'd wake up and her friend would be gone. Like what had happened to Xander.
Since she couldn't sleep, she decided she would head downstairs. She thought she remembered there being a library somewhere in the Sanctuary and hoped to find something to read.
Her plans were changed, however, when she saw Spock standing in the foyer.
She headed down the rest of the steps and walked up to him, her expression the same careful mask she'd worn since Gaila had arrived. Showing concern, gratitude that he was here, but no emotion, because she worried that if she showed any, her tenuous grip on calm would slip and she would dissolve into tears.
